Chapter 42: Wooden Man

The pitch-black luxury car drove on the streets of Rain Alley, out of place with this old small city.

In the passenger seat, Lu Ran looked out the car window, watching the Wu Lie River getting closer and closer.

This river runs through the small city from north to south, raising generation after generation of people.

Lu Ran mostly lived on the west side of the river; after all, his home, high school, and so on were all on the west side.

Looking at Deng Yuxiang's posture, she was going to drive to the east side of the river; that side is relatively more prosperous, at least there is a central commercial square.

"Little Lu Ran, should I tell you a story?" Deng Yuxiang drove onto the bridge and said casually.

"What story?"

"Once upon a time, there was a person who wanted to file a complaint." Deng Yuxiang had a trace of a smile in her eyes, "Later, he was hungry."

"Good guy." Lu Ran was a bit confused.

Still chasing people to kill?

"Hahahahaha~"

Deng Yuxiang hadn't been this happy for a long time.

Since joining work, everything had been serious.

And Lu Ran's appearance reminded her of the happy times when she teased Deng Yutang back then.

It's a pity, the good days are gone forever.

Deng Yutang is now surprisingly obedient and has no spirit of resistance; it's not fun anymore.

"Actually, jumping off a building is really exciting." Lu Ran suddenly spoke, interrupting the woman's laughter.

Deng Yuxiang: "That's not what you said just now."

Lu Ran shrugged his shoulders, having to admit that it was indeed a special experience.

Not to mention Lu Ran is a Mist Realm believer, even if he were a Stream Realm or River Realm believer, he wouldn't dare to jump down from the rooftop.

Lu Ran looked at the Wu Lie River running southeast, humming softly:

"We who don't know how to express tenderness, thought that dying for love was just an ancient rumor~"

Deng Yuxiang:???

"Cough." Lu Ran coughed lightly, hurriedly changing the subject, "By the way, what god is Uncle Sun a believer of? Biwu Lord?"

Deng Yuxiang suddenly smiled: "Keep this spirit."

Saying this in her mouth, she added a few more sentences in her heart: You must not be like Yu Tang, giving up resistance and surrendering.

If that were the case, it would be too boring.

Lu Ran was very suspicious: "What spirit?"

Deng Yuxiang didn't answer, turning to say: "Sun Team is a Biwu believer."

Sixth-class God Biwu, the appearance is similar to a parasol tree.

This is a support-type god, capable of defense and control, but especially good at healing means.

Every 15th lunar month, the shrines enshrined in major shelters are all Biwu statues.

Didn't expect that a disciple of a sixth-class god could be the team leader of a team.

Lu Ran: "In other words, your team is three protecting one?"

Two Prison Demon believers, one Biwu believer.

Deng Yuxiang is the only output sharp soldier?

Deng Yuxiang explained: "Wei Hu was specially sent by the bureau, specifically to protect you.

Sun Team is the deputy team, we also have a main team leader, named Captain Ge Bin Bin, you will be able to see him in two days."

"Which god is Team Leader Captain Ge Bin Bin a believer of?" Lu Ran was suddenly interested.

"Nu Sha."

"Nu Sha?" Lu Ran's heart moved; the top student Ma Tianchuan in the school is a Nu Sha believer.

Deng Yuxiang nodded, exhorting: "You must strive for success, after seeing our team leader, don't be scared into wetting your pants."

Lu Ran nodded heavily: "I'll try my best."

He, who has always been very confident, gave such a response, naturally for his own reasons.

Third-class God Nu Sha.

A dignified god, whose name actually contains the word "Sha" (evil/fierce), can it be a gentle and friendly god?

In the 1980s, when the demon clan first appeared, the world thought that the demon clan was the most cruel and tyrannical.

However, the appearance of God Nu Sha completely overturned this conclusion!

Nu Sha Lord is far more cruel than demons, and more vicious than fierce ghosts!

Seriously, it's only because Nu Sha Lord protects the common people.

Otherwise, just based on Nu Sha Lord's appearance conditions and terrifying means, people would really classify him as a demon sect!

Too! Scary!

The car stopped steadily, and Lu Ran saw the huge gold-plated signboard—Rain Alley Workshop.

The floor-to-ceiling windows were clean and bright, and the house was resplendent with gold and jade.

This place can be considered a particularly good restaurant in this small county town.

Deng Yuxiang turned off the engine and got out of the car, saying casually: "I heard from Yu Tang that when you were training in Vicious Dog Village, you always used a red scarf to cover your eyes?"

"Yes." Lu Ran showed a look of gratitude, "You told me before to listen to the sound of the wind, and I tried it."

Deng Yuxiang nodded: "Then you should treat this meal."

"Xi... fine!" Lu Ran gritted his teeth and stomped his feet.

Although Rain Alley Workshop is not cheap, this meal should indeed be treated by himself.

"Just kidding." Deng Yuxiang smiled, "Coming out with me, it's not your turn to spend money."

Lu Ran: "..."

He silently looked at this bossy rich girl.

This sounds a bit strange, doesn't it?

Deng Yuxiang continued: "After eating, we'll go back to the Wu Lie River bank and practice again."

"Still practicing, didn't I finish the trial?"

"You forgot, I haven't exercised my muscles and bones yet."

"Sister, I know there is a steamed bun shop on the west side of the river... hmm, do you like eating tea eggs?"

Night fell, at dusk.

Lu Ran dragged his exhausted body and returned home.

After a bath, Lu Ran took a bath towel, wiping his wet hair, and fell straight onto his small bed.

He picked up the phone by the bed, but found that Jiang Ruyi had sent a message in the morning.

Jiang: "You said, if you upgrade the mottled green stone sword, which material is better to choose?"

Lu Ran was a bit confused; didn't she already choose Bai Bai Hongshi and report it?

Lu Ran looked at the time, 7:10 PM, and immediately replied on WeChat.

Ran: "Bai Bai Hongshi."

It is often said: Beauty is like jade, sword is like a rainbow!

Beauty Jiang deserves this sentence.

Unexpectedly, the other party replied to the message very quickly.

Jiang: "Mm."

Lu Ran looked at the words on the screen and couldn't help but grin.

Some people still need to meet and communicate.

Too cold on the phone!

Lu Ran didn't reply again, clicked into the four-person group, and found it quite lively; in the afternoon, the three of them were discussing demon types.

He thought for a while, and his fingers tapped on the screen.

Ran: "Young Master Deng, what did you do today?"

Deng Yutang: "I've been cultivating, I don't dare to slack off! What about you? Why haven't there been any messages all day?"

Ran: "Your sister treated me to breakfast."

Deng Yutang: "Ah?"

Lu Ran was typing a response, and Deng Yutang sent another one:

"My sister?"

Following that, Deng Yutang's WeChat messages came one after another; it could be seen that he was really anxious.

"Didn't I tell you, don't provoke her!"

"You're confused! Brother Lu!"

"Can her food be eaten casually?"

"Then what? What's the price?"

Lu Ran awkwardly twitched the corners of his mouth.

Worthy of being a biological younger brother, hitting the nail on the head! This question is too soulful...

After a long while, Lu Ran typed a line of words.

Ran: "She beat me up all morning."

Deng Yutang: "..."

Tian Tian: (#Д)

Deng Yutang: "It's already past seven in the evening, were you beaten into a coma, and just woke up now?"

Lu Ran rolled his eyes, his fingers tapping the screen, sending several messages in a row:

"I went to scout with the Moon-Watching Person team in the afternoon."

"Exploring street terrain, visiting shops and residential houses, etc., it feels like being a community policeman."

"By the way, do you know? Chang Ying's family actually does auto repair; it's the Chang Ying who tells fortunes in Class 1."

"Her shop is on a street I'm responsible for; I met her when I visited, she was wearing a small white vest, changing tires for a car!"

"Good guy! That muscle line, proper streamlined, cooler than a car! I was so envious..."

Deng Yutang: "Is my sister's team leading you this 15th?"

Ran: "Yes, I can't avoid her! Tomorrow morning, your sister is going to treat me to breakfast again, what should I do?"

Deng Yutang: "Brother Lu, listen to me, just be a wooden man."

"Whatever she says, just go along with it; whatever she does, don't resist; in a few days, she'll feel it's boring."

"She has too much strange taste; this kind of person, just don't pay attention to her!"

Ran: "Screenshot taken."

Deng Yutang: "Brother Ran..."

"Tian Tian" patted "Deng Yutang"

Jiang: "Is this team amazing?"

Seeing Wu Ban Zhang appear, Deng Yutang's eyes lit up, as if he had found a savior.

Deng Yutang: "Wu Ban Zhang, quickly persuade Brother Lu, I still want to live a few more years!"

Ran: "1 River Realm, 5th stage Biwu believer, 1 River Realm, 5th stage North Wind believer, 2 River Realm, 4th stage Prison Demon believers."

"And 1 River Estuary Realm powerhouse, Nu Sha believer."

"He is the team leader, but he is very busy, I didn't see him today."

Jiang: "What an amazing team, it seems, on the day school starts, we can see you."

Deng Yutang: "Brother Ran!!"
